A friend of mine ( who to this day knows absolutely nothing about radio,
propagation or especially antennas ) and I worked together about 30 years ago
and when he found out I was doing radio he immediately said " Do you know
VE1ZZ?" No I replied not personally but I know "OF" him because he

Sad to see he will no longer be there to give out Nova Scotia. I see I've
worked him three times 2014, 2011 and 2009 for a multiplier during CQWW160.

Jeff,
Thanks for the great writeup about Jack. Although I didn’t know him as well as
you did I had the pleasure of meeting him several times and saw many pictures
of the old setup. Logged him from Navassa on both trips, he not only had a
booming signal, he was always courteous operator. RIP

Never really got to know him but I have enjoyed the great stories. That is
something about ham radio I love. You never know who you might be
very sad to hear this...
Jack was my first DX on 80m in the 80th, using an antenna myself, which
could not really work - only he made the contact possible!
Later, I had many topband-contacts with him and no wonder: Jack was my
first VE on Six in 1992...

Jeff,
Thanks for passing this on. I have forwarded your (sad) note in its
entirety to the MCC fellas.
Your tour of his shack and visit were nearly identical to my own, sometime
in the mid to late 1990's
His way of building antennas etc. left a big impression on me and I still
make some

Sad news indeed, he was my first VE I ever worked half a century ago!

Sad news indeed.
Our first QSO was in 92 when I was using
an octagon copper tube short loop for 160
in northern Illinois. The next few were
when I was using a 30' random wire in
Indiana. 5W would get into the telephone
so I was pretty much QRP all that time.
The next were when I moved back
had dozens of QSOs with him over the years.

Very sad news. The passing of a legend. I remember hearing "zulu zulu"
from A73A back in 2012. My only NA on 160 in the CQ WW SSB.

Hello Gang
I am truly saddened to have to pass along the contents of an email I just
received from Carl Leahy who was one of Jack Leahy, VE1ZZ's sons.
It is short and sweet - but I will add some personal comments after sharing his
note to me.
